UNC’s former chain-moving tight end with real red-zone punch
Theron Verna was a difference-making TE for Northern Colorado, and in the 2018 season he started all 11 games, caught 25 passes for 287 yards, and tied for the team lead with 4 receiving TDs; he finished his UNC career as the program’s Division I leader among tight ends with 1,002 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns[1][12]. What made him pop was versatility: coaches praised his blocking in the run game, improved route running, and reliable hands, which is exactly the kind of “do a little bit of everything” profile NFL-style offenses love[2].
